Correct and Incorrect Ideas About Order

System in conducting q piece of work
Is absolutely necessary to its successful
completion; but why will people insist
upon misapplying this excellent, help
ful force, turning it into a sort of tether
Or weight to hold them in a narrow rut
Of habit, of setting certain days for
certain duties, and doing those duties
upon those days, sick or we'll, rain or
shine, even though the skies fall in
consequence? Monday is unquestion-
ably the better day to do the family
washing; it is SO pleasant to feel that
it is done and off ones mind and
hands; but is this satisfaction sufficient
recompense for the suffering often I'M
dergone in consequence of cold caught
by exposure to unsuitable weather to
attain it? Other work, which does not
necessitate such exposure. may just as
we'll be done if Monday chances to be
stormy, and clothes washed on Tuesday,
or any other propitious day, will be just
as white and sweet as if washed on Mon
day. So in regard to other "set days
for sweeping, baking, etc. A broom
and dust-pan kept handy in the
chambers and used as often as needed,
and no oftener. obviates the necessity
for a set sweeping day, and keeps the
house in u condition which you will
not feel ashamed to disclose to any
chance visitor. A judicious watch up
on the harder will keep it unfailingly
supplied, so that an unexpected tax up
on it may not be dreaded. One does
not feel the work of making u "batch"
of cookies now, and two or three pies
next day, perhaps baked while the din
ner is cooking, rs one docs the stand.
inc for hours to mix aud bake a great
quantity of pastry on "set" baking
days. By the former method the food
is always fresh, which is another adj
vantage to be considered.
Order and system do not consist in
setting apart certain days for certain
work, but in choosing what ones judg.
ment, in consideration of health and
strength, and other contingencies, de-
cides to be the best time for doing each
duty, and then planning how to do the
work with the least outlay of time and
strength. American A9ricultufsst.

STORIES OF DUELlNG.
Some Amusing Anecdotes OF Mem Engaged
in 'Satisfying Honor"

Some Amusing Anecdotes OF Mem Engaged
in satisfying Honor"
The duel arose out of the ancient ju-
dicial combat, known as the trial by
ordeal. One form of this trial was the
Wager Of Battcl, which consisted of 4
personal combat between two antagon
, lists i'll the presence of the Judges. The
principle Of the trial was Il reliance on
the immediate providence Of God to in
terposc to give victory to the innocent.
The practice outlasted the principle.
The duel took the place Of the judicial
combat, and a point of honor, which
sanctioned revenge and murder, waa
allowed to thrust aside an appeal to
God. The motive was no longer to OBJ
tain justice, but to avcnge an insult by
numbering the insulting man.
Dueling became 80 fashionable that a
man, if challenged, had to fight or sub.
nit to cocial ostracSm. But even in
those day, here and there u man WAS
to be found who refused to fight a duel
because it was a sin against God. 4
brave soldier once refused u challenge
following lines:
"Whit, you're afraid, thee Yes, I ao1-
you're right
I am afraid q sin but not to fight.
fear not man nor devil; but though. odd,
I'm Lot ashamed 20 own, fear my Cod
The absurdity Of two men settling {.
point Of honor by shootin@at each other
was seen even by those who seconded
them.
Two attorneys once fought duel,
and one of them shot away the others
coat-tail.
"1f your antagonist said the good
shots second, had been q client,
You would have hit his pocket"
The witty remark created :; general
laugh under the influence Of which the
antagonists shook hands and made up.
Two men, engaged in satisfying
honor,' were so nervous that each shot
wide of his antagonist. One of the sec
onds suggested that honor being salts
fed, the duelsts should shake hands.
THAT is wholly unnecessarily rc-
piled the other second; "thcir hands
have been shaking this half-hour.'

gogues, Horne Tooke and John Wilkes.

FEATHERED PROPHETS.
Peculiar Notes Foretelling Rain Sounded
by Certain Species of Birds.

Peculiar Notes Foretelling Rain Sounded
by Certain Species of Birds.
Quite q number of birds announce
the coming of rain; for instance, the
magpic, the owl, the yellow thrush and
the greentinch. This is also done by
means of peculiar notes which they
never sound on other occasions. Mic
olardot has essayed to reproduce these
notes by letters. There are also storm
birds, so-called procellaria, which in a
similar manner-that is to say, by the
use of certain peculiar sounds-predict
the coming of Il storm, even a long
time in advance. Birds thus can feel
and announce the coming of rain and
storm; and the ancicntS ascribed to
them the faculty of prediction. In
their flight and in their voices indica
tons of coming events were sought.
The augurs of old had established 4
whole science of the flight and the
voices of birds Nor is it improbable
that training was resorted ia, to aid in
procuring such predictions-that is to
say, to create favorable or unfavoIable
omens, whichever might happen to
best suit the plans of the priests
at the time. Louis Napoleon. in
our nineteenth century, intended to
convince the French people, by
the aid of trained eagle which was to
have alighted on his head at the right
moment, that he was the predestined
successor of his great uncle. Nicolardot
does not go quite so far as the augurs
of the ancients, but he also ascribes to
birds q prescience of coming events, es-
pecially of approaching misfortune, to
which feeling they lend expression by
certain peculiar sounds. As an example
he cites tale from O'Meara's ''Voice
from st. Helena" When the French
entered Moscow, this author relates a
great flock CT ravens came and settled
on the towers of the Kremlin. From
there these birds, to which the ancients
asbribed great sagacity, came flying
down close to the heads of the soldiers,
tapped their wings, and kept up con-
tinuous croaking. The troops were
much disheartened by this occurrence
and feared misfortune. Shortly before
the terrible confagration broke out all
the ravens had disappeared, flying
away in great numbers. -Leber Land

There are two cardinal principles in
relation to mixed feed; first, that mixed
feeds are better than plain; second, that all
the elements of the mixture should be fed
each day, instead of one element for one day
or one week, and another for another day
or week. Thus, for instance, the expert
ments at Rothamstead, England, showed
that eight pound of peas. or six pounds of
oil-cake meal, would Wake a pound of live
weight; while, of peas and oil-cake meal
mixed, four and one-half pounds would
suffice. 1t is as an element of mixed feed
that roots attain their greatest value Thus,
in great majority of cases, it will be found
that sheep receiving three pounds of
bright wheat straw, and six pounds of
mrnips per day, will increase as much in
weight, or keep in as good condition, as
another with three pounds of the best
timothy hay; while, the former, will cost
less. Ha
1t has been ascertained that to keep a
sheep in good thriving condition, fifteen
pounds of perfectly dry feed (of average
good quality, is required per week for
each one hundred pounds of live weight.
But since hay and grain, in their ordinary
condition, contain about fourteen per cent,
of warter, from eighteen to twenty pounds
per week will be necessary, or about three
pounds per day. To facilitate digestion and
prevent constipation, it would be well if an
exuvalent of this amount of nutriment
could be expanded in bulk, so as to weigh
seven or eight pounds.

OF INTEREST TO FARMERS.
War-Against Insects.
From the American Agriculturist

From the American Agriculturist
Whoever undertakes to grow house plants
eniists for a.war against a dry atmosphere
dust and insects, and the greatest of these is
insects. The most injurious insects are
not those large enough to be removed by
hand, but the. minute plant-lce or Aphides
called by the gardener Green fly. No sooner
does new and tender shoot, two or three
inches long, push forth, than it is beset all
over, round and round, with these innocent
looking insects, as close together as they can
stand, each with its little snout (proboscis,
if you like it better), stuck into the tender
Shoot and all sucking away for dear life
The insects grow, but lthe shoot does not.
Tobacco in some form-dust, tea or smoke
is sure death to these little creatures.
Smoke is best, as it is most penetrating, or
'sarchin," as the oldfaslioned folks say. In
the greenhouse this is the most readily
applied from of tobacco, while in the window
garden the most difficult Still, il one is
really fond of plants, and smoking isaa con
dition OF success, ways and means will be
found to apply it. If one can have the use
of a closet, or the exclusive,us of the bath.
room for over night, smoking becomes easy.
In smoking, we wish to burn tobacco, and
do not wish to burn the house. 1t will be
well to make a shallow box or tray, say
four feet square, with sides four o: five
inches high fill this with coal ashes, and il
will make hearth upon which fire may
be built with safety. A handful of pine
kindlings is placed in the middle of this
hearth when fairly ahlaze, lot of damp
tobacco stems are laid upon this fire. and
the operator should retire and close the
door behind him. OF course, it is supposed
that the plants have been removed from
the window to the bathroom before this
smoking is given.
